to the BEE. Jacob Sharp will be called to
the bar of the court Of oyer and terminer at
II o'clock Monday morning and o motion
will be made by District Attorney MARITIME

chief of the indicted bribe givers. The trial
will probably begin a week from Monday be-
fore Justice Barrett. The preparations for
this trial have been long continued on the
part of the district alto rney and his assist
ants EX-Alderman Charles B. Waite and
other persons who were familiar with some
of the corrupt schemes of the promoters of

examined as to the facts to which they could
testify, and the case has been thoroughly
considered, so that the prosecution may be
prepared to meet any possible line of de-
tense which may develop at the trial. Start
ling testimony is expected on both sides.
Albert Stckney, who is Sharp counsel, has,
of course, not made known the nature of the
defense which he will offer, but statements
are frequently made by well informed per-
sons that Jacob Sharp has become deeply in
dignant at what he considers the ingratitude
OF political acquaintances and is ready to
tell any amount of truths so long as he can
injure some of his former friends. These
statements are denied, however, by, those

tanned his innocence that he. will, in the

assurance which carried him through the

the BEE. M. l.. Keck, a young man from
Odebolt Ia, arrived in this city several days
ago. Before his arrival here Keck was the
proprietor of flourishing store in Odebolt,
but desiring metropolitan life he sold out his
store and came to this city. After looking
around the city he decided to open saloon
and began negotiations with James Maloney
on West Adams street. Last night he was
at the saloon and met Maloney and q young
man who was introduced as Fred Stubbs, a
railroad man. The trio engaged in conyersa-
tion, in which Maloney stated that he wished
TO sell out. In short time Keck and Stubbs
left the saloon and walked west on Adams
street to Clinton, and north on Clinton. As
they were passing the alley between Monroe
and Adams streets, two men suddenly sprang
out and seized Keck by the throat. At the
same time Stubs knocked him down; then,
tearing open his coat, they snatched his
pOcket-book which contained $500, and fled.
Late in the night the police arrested Maloney;

THE WEEK IN WALL STREET
Considerable lrregularity in the
Stock Market,

STOCK Market.
New YORK, April 24.-lSpecial Telegram
to the BEE: The week has been one of
considerable irregularity in the stock market
the temper of speculation having changed
frequently, with occasional wide fuctua-
tions. There was strong bull sentiment at
the start under the leadership of Reading,
which attained the highest figure of the pres
ent month amid futious transactions and
great excitement. The rise in this stock car
ried up the remainder of the list and things
were getting along smoothly until the Read
ing reorganization trustees suddenly called
in two assessments and President AleXan-
der Mitchell, of the St. Paul road died in
this city. These events checked the advanc-
ng of prices and led to reaction: but very
soon confidence was restored and the market
again be Ian to move up, only, however, to
meet with fresh disturbing elements in the
shape of a raid OH Manhattan and New Eng
land and the war scare at Paris, which pre-
cipitated selling movement from London.
One of the chief features has been the per-
sstent efforts made to bring about a reaction
in which some of the leaders on both sides
Joined, and vet outside of comparatively few
stocks the decline for the week was siyht
and some shares even show an advance. The
rallying power displayed by the market was
due to the existence of mum Der of pools in
stock and also to the advice given by many

reactions.
Government bonds were strong throughout
the week, but more particularly so near the
close when some rOupd amounts were taken
at top prices. The transactions at the board
were generally small, the great bulk of busi-
ness having been done over the counters of
dealers. One reason Tor the rise in As and
AIS was the expectation that a call for $l0.-
000. 600 3s would be issued shortly.
There was much larger inquiry for railway
mortgages than OF late, purchases for invest
ment and speculative account having been
stimulated by thei increasing ease in
money and the satisfactory returns of most
of the railroads. The foerign exchanges were

more to the limited supply OF bills offered
rather than to any increase IN the demand

A Sensational Episode Growing Out |
OF Eliza Weathershy'a Death

New YORK, April 24.-lSpecial Telegram
to the BEE THE death of Eliza Weathersby-
Goodwin, the actress, promises to have Sc
quel. DR.. Merton Sims has presented his bill
for professional services to her husband, Nat
Z. Goodwin, and Mr.. Goodwin has refused to
pay, on the ground that it is exOrbitant. But
this difference of opinion does not make the
sensational episode. There are other things
back of the matter that, II brought out. as 1t
seems likely they will be in the courts, will
prove extraordinary. Mrs. Goodwin had been
i'll tor considerable period. The trouble
was a disorder that resisted all attempts to
check it. Eventually the family physician,
DIR. II. S. Robertson, deemed it advisable to
have experts summoned to consult on the
case. DIR. Sims was not among those who
came at first. The doctors were in grave
doubt as to the precise nature of the malady,
but some we're inclined to the opinion that 1t
was a tumor in the fallopian tubes. If such
were the case the only possible remedy would
lie in an operation for the removal of the
tumor-a very dangerous matter at the BEST
and one that would be liable to cause death,
even if successfully performed. When Mrs
Goodwin was informed OF the possible ma
ture of her trouble she expressed = desire
that an operation be made, but DIR. Robert
son promptly refused to perform it. lie was
not confident that tumOr existed, and was
wholly unwilling to assume the terrible re-
spOnsibility for the result ii none should be
found. The other experts agreed with the
family physician. Mrs. Goodwin, however
was anxiOns that whatever might be done
for her should be resOrted to, and DR.. Sims
was called. lie made an examination, and
his opinion agreed in its general features
with that of his colleagues. The truth of the
matter simply was that Mrs. Goodwin must
die if the disorder were to be left alone; that
a surgical operation might possibly save her,
but the chances were so strongly against her
that it would hasten the end. This was made
clear to the patient, and she unhesitatingv
asked DR.. Sims to make the operation. lie
consented, and Dr. Robertson and one other
were present when 1t was performed. The
result showed that no tumOr existed. The
disorder was inflammation of the fallopian
tubes, and soon after the conclusion of the
operation Mrs. Goodwin died. DR.. Sims is
physician of the highest professional stand
ing, has an extended practice and comes
high. The actor, who disputes the bill, pur-
poses to show, when the doctor sues him for
the amount, that the death of his wife was
nothing less than scientific murder. He will
endeavOr to produce the experts TO swear that
the operation was uncalled for, dangerous
aud ineXcusable. On the other hand IL Is
said that DIR. Sims can easily justify his
course. II is pretty sure to be a disagreeably
interesting case, unless the actor yields and
pays the bill, for the physician is determined
to collect, even If it should prove necessary
to invoke the aid OF the law.
